DESCRIPTION

The Bendix
TP-2
tractor protection valve functions as a
set of remote controlled cut-out cocks, protecting the tractor
air supply should a loss of air occur in the trailer side
(delivery) of the valve. The TP-2

as compared to the TP-3
The valve is normally piped as shown in Figure 2. Lines
delivering service and supply (emergency) pressure to the
trailer are routed through the valve. A third control Iine comes
from the on-off control valve in the cab.
With the control valve in the "normal" (on) position and
reservoir pressure at approximately 50 psi, the valve will
open and service and emergency air is permitted to pass
through the valve. With the control valve in the emergency
position (off) position the vaIve is closed and service and
emergency lines on the trailer (delivery) side of the valve
are open to atmosphere through the vaIve's exhaust port.
The valve will automatically close and vent delivery lines to
atmosphere should air pressure drop below a safe operating

minimum pressure (approx. 40 psi), thus retaining and
protecting the tractor air brake system against complete
loss of air.
NOTE: With a TP-2
™
valve system it should be noted that
the pneumatic logic for the legally required automatic
function is incorporated in the TP-2
in the current TP-3
supply valve in the cab. Consequently a TP-2
should never be replaced by a TP-3

OPERATION - NORMAL POSITION
With air pressure at approximately 50 psi at the control
port, the diaphragm and plunger assembly is depressed
and the plunger contacts the service and exhaust valve
surface sealing the exhaust passage through the center of
the plunger. Continued travel of the plunger moves the service
valve off its seat, opening the service passage from the
